Jos Buttler (83*) takes England [158/2] to an 8-wicket win over India [156/6] in the 3rd T20I

[PakPremi]

India will end up 30 runs short. 145 would not be enough.

Kohli playing a good innings again here

 

[JaDed]

Atleast Kohli is getting back to some form

 

[RamLakhan]

Agreed, Pant was running towards the danger end he should have made the final call, even his running for previous two runs wasnt great (Looked like well ahead of the crease on his 2nd run without having a 3rd in mind at all) otherwise there could have been a chance of making it.

Probably in test match mood! Even here he is seeing collapse and in rescue mode after fall of wickets!

 

[JaDed]

India will end up 30 runs short. 145 would not be enough.

60 runs more likely

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Is India really a great T20 side? I personally believe they are good side not great. I think England, Pakistan and New Zealand are better sides. I think England can win the T20 WC easily.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Why are you so agitated

I didn't call the commentators jealous. That was only reserved for

They are not courageous enough to blame Kohli on air

Nobody will feel agitated after reading gems like these from you? ) It's simple. Pant should have said no to that run but as I mentioned earlier he starts to lose his concentration when he goes above a score of 20.

 

[Ab Fan]

Top knock from Kohli.

you guys fight like little school girls!.. move on.. it happened ages ago in this context. This is what happens when testosterone runs low

 

[pillionrider]

Kohli has gone berserk



Sorry for all those who have been getting needlessly excited

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I didn’t know Jordan was playing for England again.

 

[pillionrider]

Please go back to sleep and enjoy your dreams

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Okay my bad. On second look in highlight it seems Pant should have sad no.

Unable to watch continuously.. but yeah , you think thats Pant’s fault? 100%

Ok. First watch the match then comment. Or may be read someone else's comment before jumping into conclusion.

Kohli batting well here

 

[pillionrider]

Hardik trying to play it cool and hope no one notices him while Kohli's going crazy

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Kohli ke begaar India team incomplete. Champion Cricketer.

 

[Ab Fan]

Since ABD told Kohli to look at bowl, Kohli has been magnificent with bat.



Another SIX!

 

[PakPremi]

60 runs more likely

Nah Indian bowlers bowl good slower balls so won't be walk in park for England especially if they lose few early.

 

[JaDed]

Ok. First watch the match then comment. Or may be read someone else's comment before jumping into conclusion.

I did watch that.. but unable to watch the match continuously..

 

[pillionrider]

This is insane from Kohli


What. A. Player.

 

[PakPremi]

Kohli looks in sublime form

 

[dildilpak]

Kohli is back!

 

[Ab Fan]

Mark Wood 3-31(3.5)

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Kohli Balance when he play shots is just unbelievable.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Kohli Balance when he play shots is just unbelievable.

May be Hafeez bhai is watching Kohli lately. Hafeez is batting just like Kohli nowdays.

 

[Ab Fan]

Need a big over from Pandya also.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Ok. First watch the match then comment. Or may be read someone else's comment before jumping into conclusion.

Happened so quickly in real time. On highlights I saw and Pant should have said no and turned him.
Virat was looking at him till the end.

 

[guna]

Kohli back in form and the entire team goes out of form with the bat. No one else seems to be able to read the bowling or the pace.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Need at least 165

 

[Justcrazy]

India rallying back here with some big hits

 

[Mahee]

greatest since don bradman...king kohli

 

[JaDed]

Since ABD told Kohli to look at bowl, Kohli has been magnificent with bat.



Another SIX!

Ball* , yeah and that was worst article I ever read..

 

[Sunzi]

Pure class.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Kohli back in form and the entire team goes out of form with the bat. No one else seems to be able to read the bowling or the pace.

The pitch is a two paced. This is where quality comes in.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

That 2nd 6 of Kohli reminds me of Sachin Tendulkar shot.

 

[guna]

Pandya should just take a single and give the strike to Kohli.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

If India scores 155 here they can win.

 

[Ab Fan]

Why is he trying to copy AB?

 

[guna]

The pitch is a two paced. This is where quality comes in.

This looks like a Test match pitch. Lot of pace and bounce for fast bowlers. I agree that only class players can score here.

 

[Rana]

Kohli is back

Sublime innings

 

[Justcrazy]

142 . 5

six ball to go

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Despite Kohlis masterclass.. we will be 30 runs short here. Only if some one in the bowlers can pull out some masterclass.

Pandya smashes that away

Where is Shubman gill.

 

[King_Kohli]

wow..wow.wow
This is superb class shot
4 RUNS

 

[PassionForPak]

If india score 160-165, It will be good fighting score but india needed 180-185 for win. England has explosive batting order so they'll do it while batting second. 160 or not.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Where is Shubman gill.

Resting at his home in Punjab. He is not a T20 player yet in my opinion. More suited to ODI and Test Cricket.
Shaw can be more explosive in T20

 

[King_Kohli]

This is not enough.
30 runs short.

 

[Justcrazy]

157 is the target !

 

[PassionForPak]

Kohli played great innings but there was no help from the other side and England will probably finish it in 17-18 overs.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Resting at his home in Punjab. He is not a T20 player yet in my opinion. More suited to ODI and Test Cricket.
Shaw can be more explosive in T20

This guy was playing ODI in Test matches against Australia, how is he not suited to this format.

 

[Sunzi]

Good catch.

Fighting total... considering.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

157 is the target !

Close my prediction was 155

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

This is not enough.
30 runs short.

Great innings by the Champ.. Only blessing.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Spinners will be key here, England plays pacer well.

 

[King_Kohli]

Great innings by the Champ.. Only blessing.

Happy for Virat.
Glimpse of 2016-18 Kohli, hope he will carry same form in rest of the series.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya ji is in the team for his Strike Rate. His strike rate of 113 was the difference between India posting 156 and 170.

 

[Ab Fan]

Brilliant from Kohli but disappointing from rest.

Pant looked good an if not for silly run out, we would have gotten 175 today.

Shreyas shouldn't have thrown his wicket against short pitch stuff. He really need to improve a lot.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pandya ji is in the team for his Strike Rate. His strike rate of 113 was the difference between India posting 156 and 170.

He was looking to hit everything straight, it was Kohli who told him to hit on off side. He is a left side hack.

 

[Titan24]

Kohli without a doubt is still the most important player for Indian followed by Rohit in the next 3 ICC tournaments.

 

[King_Kohli]

Brilliant from Kohli but disappointing from rest.

Pant looked good an if not for silly run out, we would have gotten 175 today.

Shreyas shouldn't have thrown his wicket against short pitch stuff. He really need to improve a lot.

Pant looked so good, that was unfortunate.
Mistake from both sides.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Chris jordon not even single yorker.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Jai Jai Amba being played in Gujarat. Time to get some wickets else England will be doing Garbha at the end.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Rohit captaining.. Some hope... lol...

 

[Manunited18]

Buttler and Roy need to take the Indian medium pacers to task in the power play.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Man bowl is swinging..

That 2nd 6 of Kohli reminds me of Sachin Tendulkar shot.

Good observation! I too think it was like a Tendulkar shot.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Good observation! I too think it was like a Tendulkar shot.

Sachin Paaji ki every shot yaad hai. Truly a legendary Cricketer. He taught 2 Ws a lesson in 2003 WC.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

This guy was playing ODI in Test matches against Australia, how is he not suited to this format.

Needs a bit more string capability i think. Already have Kohli/Iyer who play in the same style as him.
But will come in the team in future.

 

[Justcrazy]

No boundary so far after 9 balls

 

[ChennaiFan]

A passionate cricketer like Sachin will practice all those shots. I have watched him training tailenders on how to play different shots. He could become a good batting coach.

Two W's were at the end of their careers in 2003. It is pity we did not see the match up games more during their peak.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Is Pandya being groomed as next T20 captain.. Talks way too much with captain and bowlers.

 

[Justcrazy]

7 after 2 overs

Steady bowling by India

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

[Devadwal]

Easy chase for England .Poor batting from indian batsman bar Virat. RAHUL is out of from should have played SKY and open with Rohit & Kishan
